"Stripped-down '32 Ford hot rods still streak across the salt flats at Bonneville every summer.
And flashy '57 Chevys still create a stir, their mix of fins and fuel-injected V-8s as enticing as ever.
In fact, after decades as two of hot-rodding's highest profile cars, the '32 Ford and '57 Chevy are considered by many enthusiasts to be the cornerstone cars for the billion-dollar hot-rod business.
'The cars now have a permanent place in history,' said Gary Bennett, senior automotive specialist at Barrett-Jackson Auction Co. "

Inside Line: D-Rod: Promoting Detroit Muscle -: "HOLLY, Michigan — The upcoming Autorama show, the annual edition of Detroit's long-running hot-rod extravaganza, will showcase yet another '32 Ford re-creation, this one dubbed D-Rod and intended to promote the city's image and 'rebrand Detroit.'
The D-Rod is the brainchild of the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau, which commissioned a local builder, Detroit Muscle, to construct the vehicle. The bureau wants to promote Detroit as 'a leisure and meeting destination.'
Curiously, the D-Rod is a mix of Detroit-based hardware. Under the Deuce-like skin, the car boasts a Chrysler 392 Hemi crate engine mated to a Chrysler 518 four-speed automatic transmission. The bureau said it chose the classic '32 Ford partly to commemorate the car's 75th anniversary."
